About Arlo Pasta & Wine
Arlo Pasta & Wine sits on Harding Street in Portarlington, facing the foreshore so every table looks out across Port Phillip Bay. The kitchen rolls and cuts its pasta fresh each morning, and the wine list leans on small Bellarine producers with classic European bottles alongside. For functions the restaurant divides into a dining room, a patio and a garden, or it can be taken over as a whole. The dining room seats 40 and holds 50 standing, while the full venue fits 80 seated or 110 for a cocktail party. Seated functions suit groups of about 25 to 40 and run on a set menu of small plates, handmade pasta and dessert. Cocktail events for 30 to 80 guests are built around snacks and small plates, and an outdoor terrace comes into play for summer events. The classic set menu is $55 for two courses or $68 for three, and canapé packages start at $32 for five pieces. Gluten free and vegan swaps can be arranged ahead of time. Drinks packages run for three or four hours, from a basic list of Peroni on tap, prosecco and house wines to a premium list that adds spritzes and cocktails. A dedicated function coordinator looks after the planning from the first conversation through to the day itself.
